The Eyemonger - Hardcover

by Daniel J. Solove (Author), Ryan D. Beckwith (Illustrator)

In a faraway land, a stranger arrives with promises of greater security in exchange for sacrificing privacy. His name is The Eyemonger, and he has 103 eyes. With the help of flying eye creatures, he spies on everybody. But his plan soon starts to go wrong. His constant watching makes people feel uncomfortable and stifles their creativity. When people complain, The Eyemonger asks: "Do you have something to hide?" The Eyemonger eventually encounters an artist who resists his surveillance and teaches him an important lesson about the value of privacy.

The topic of privacy is rarely covered in children's books. Written by the international privacy expert Daniel J. Solove, The Eyemonger discusses privacy in a way that children can understand. Ryan Beckwith's rich and detailed illustrations create a fascinating gothic world of curiosity and wonder.
